Suffering Temptations Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Temptations standing before me, love growing beyond it's
limits, wanting to be quenched, wanting to fulfill desires,
wants and needs, yet knowing it's not morally right.

Therefore, suffering from these exquisite and tantalizing
temptations that can never be fulfilled in this life, a
bittersweet knowing that makes me vacillate back and forth.

Wondering whether or not I should give in and taste their
unhealthy aromas, then thinking, knowing that I cannot do
so and keep my sanity or soul.
